A Synthesia alternative that delivers the finished film
If you are comparing Synthesia with Kineo, the honest difference is what you get at the end: a complete narrated, captioned MP4 from one idea, with the engine of your choice. Below is what Kineo does; we do not describe Synthesia's features or prices here because they change and are theirs to state.
10 free credits in supported countries — enough for your first 15-second AI film · the trial pays for one free 15-second film (Seedance 1.5) · 60-second films on a plan (from $9.90/month)
“How solar panels make electricity, explained for a 12-year-old”
One idea is enough. A full script is narrated word for word.
- A hook-first script and a natural AI voice
- A scene for every line, generated from the text
- Captions timed to the voice, music, a vertical MP4
- A written next episode, so it becomes a series
One idea in, a finished film out: that is the fastest way to see the difference.
What Kineo does differently
- Kineo makes faceless narrated films with real or generated scenes instead of a presenter avatar reading a script.
- You choose the engine per film: Seedance 1.5 (a new account's trial pays for one free 15-second film), Veo 3.1, Kling 2.5 or Kling 3.
- The free trial needs no card; the trial size and every price on this page are read live from the same source as the pricing page.
We describe Kineo only. Synthesia's features and prices are theirs to state and change.

Questions
Can I try Kineo before leaving Synthesia?
Yes. The free trial needs no card, and the first film shows you the full result: script, voice, scenes and captions.
Can I bring a script I already wrote?
Yes. "Use my script as is" narrates it word for word and matches scenes to every sentence.
Which engine should I start with?
Seedance 1.5: a new account's trial pays for one free 15-second film on it, and it generates every scene (a story, a place that cannot be filmed, the past). Kling 3 or Veo 3.1 when you need the most cinematic look.
How much does it cost?
The free trial gives 10 credits with no card. Seedance 1.5 costs 35 credits per 60-second film, which needs a plan; a new account's trial pays for one free 15-second film (Seedance 1.5) instead. Plans start at $9.90/month for 60 credits.
